Hey everyone! I am generally new to the forum but I was wondering if anyone could help me out on finding old privy pits/bottle dumps. I have been doing some research and I have discovered multiple areas in the woods/fields where old homes used to stand. I have already detected the areas, and I have found tons of coins, buttons, etc. But I am very interested in finding older blown bottles since most of the bottles I have found date from the 1890's-1930's. Anyways, I was wondering how I would go about finding these places at these older sites, since the only information I have to go on is the historic map (shown below) and what I learned from the artifacts discovered.
Here is the historic map fragment and what the area looks like now. I highlighted the creek in blue and some stone wall remnants in white. I have marked to the area with the highest concentration of artifacts with pins. Also alot of the area has been developed. (not sure if its worth looking in the are where the top soil has been scraped off)
https://tapatalk.com/id/update_pass...=8a4b0ff85497f2bb332c57bbce97cb34&fromemail=1 Those were all found where it says "untitled place mark". As you can see I was finding a lot of glass and pottery there, but the ground was normal and there was no ash. Anyways, thanks in advance for any help. Thanks for looking.
